What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

Winemakers Notes

This deliscious Syrah is a blended wine from various vineyard sources throughout the state. This is an enjoyable wine for the table ready to drink now or to lie down for 1-5 years. The California Cuv?e always contains a great spice backbone of white pepper from JC's Ventana vineyard. An amazing cherry and raspberry core from the Fess Parker vineyard followed with ripe tannins and a mocha/smoke finish from Musci and Shannon Ridge vineyards. So versatile a wine that it can be paired with any of your favorite foods or drink well on it's own.
